No, though close!

I was channeling the man on the street’s opinion of these National Bocialists. (Mr. Hilter in England)

Careful… Legend has it that if you say that three times, Jeff Goldstein appears.

Geez, Spurius (if that is your real name) – irony’s all I got.

We are winning the war because we totally have Al Queda on the run and we’re painting the schools, despite what that liberal jihadi Jamail Hussein says.

The streets of Iraq are more peaceful than South Philly except for

The evil baby-baking terrislamistofascist with their hateful ideology funded by Iran who are creeping about with sabres between their teeth, ready to cut the throats of every God-fearing White American….

Because they hate us for our freedoms.

The freedoms we are bringing to the happy smiling people of Iraq

Who should all be killed, women and children as well as men, as we fight them over there so we don’t have to fight over here.

George Bush is the Bestest President ever, except for the fact that the Librual Defeatocrats and the media have tied his hands so he is completely ineffective

But there probably isn’t anything he could have done anyway, but he is still the only thing standing between us and a horrendous terror attack

Which we really hope will happen ASAP so that those who doubted President Bush’s goal of spreading freedom and democracy will be immediately rounded up, dragged from their homes in the dark of night, and thrown into prison.

OK. I think I need to go lie down now.

Ha! But when all else fails, the last-ditch wingnut argument is that the lawlessness of Bush-Cheney at least has prevented any further attacks on Der Vaterland. So . . . if there is another attack, then surely the corporate media, despite its many failures, will finally call bullshit on this literally good-for-nothing Gop Ship of Fools; right? Surely they’ll finally at long last drop the narrative that everything helps the Gop: terror attacks, no terror attacks, violence in Iraq, more violence in Iraq, etc., etc. Right?

9/11 2.0. I’ve never particularly understood this particular wingnut pathology.

I do. It’s the ability to dance around in an ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ T-shirt, feeling vindicated. It doesn’t have to make logical sense. In spite of all evidence to the contrary these guys earnestly believe that the liberals have sapped the country of it’s vital bodily fluids and have thereby invited another attack. There’s a dash of biblical judgementalism and punishment somewhere in that heady mix of paranoia, chauvinism and jingo.

They want this war, this clash of civilizations, this existential crisis, SO BADLY. I suspect they believe it will be the wake up call that vindicates them and presents them with a mandate to eradicate liberalism once and for all. That is if only that liberal President George W. Bush doesn’t go and prevent them.

watch what their reactions will be when after the next 9/11 we show them what it really means to profile people and deprive them of their precious freedoms. …

That’s kind of unnerving. I mean, I can’t be absolutely certain of the subtext on that one, but I suspect it involves Mrs. Malkin finally seeing those boncentration bamps opened like she would just love, and anybody suspected of being insufficiently Republican being filed in.

If we do have another attack, and G*d forbid we do, how would it possibly help the GOP at this stage of the game? They haven’t done anything about the last one except fuck up a sovereign nation where, as Nathan Arizona said, we know they ain’t at. Leadership is a hell of a lot more than Decider t-shirts.

I’ve never particularly understood this particular wingnut pathology. Leaving aside the fact that there would be no guarantee that they could lay such horror as Bill Hitlery Clinton’s fault and not Bush’s, what honestly do they expect will happen?

They have five straight years of Republican control of everything and they COULDN’T win in Iraq or catch Osama. Do they honestly expect, even if Bush’s approval were to shoot to 92% again due to some regrettable but oh so fortunate for wingnuttia incident, that Iraq would turn to magical pony land once America regained its “resolve?” That there would be something to call victory from the debacle?

Just getting the al Qaeda email newsletter does not make you Al Qaeda, does it?

In a sense, the ‘definition’ of Al Qaeda, according to Yon, is almost postmodernist. Language bears no set meaning, and so Al Qaeda only means whatever the term-user thinks it means, with no objective meaning.

Thanks a lot, postmodernists.
